Type Directors Club’s charming and informative video about Mike Parker, past year's recipient of the Type Director’s Club Medal.
"The Type Directors Club Medal is awarded to individuals and institutions that have made significant advances for, contributions to, and achievements in the art and craft of type and typography.
"Wallpaper Magazine asked various graphic designers and illustrators to design a series of covers for their August Handmade 2012 issue. This is the heartwarming and emotional story of one, Alan Kitching and his late wife Celia."

short film made by students of HKU (in Dutch)
A wonderful documentary by a Canadian student Hannah Ryu Chung about the future of the physical book. Build upon interviews with printers, publishers, book binders and bookshop owners active in Toronto, it questions the future of the printed book. Hannah hopes that the film will stir thought and elicit discussion about the immersive reading experience and the lost craft of the book arts, from the people who are still passionate about reading on paper as well as those who are not.
